What is proofreading?

Proofreading is the final stage of the editing process, focusing on surface errors such as misspellings and mistakes in grammar, punctuation, and formatting. Proofreading is most effective when it follows several other editing reviews.

Why are proofreading services necessary?

After you've worked hard to develop ideas and present them, you don't want careless errors distracting your reader from what you have to say. It's worth paying attention to the details that make a good impression.

Most people devote only a few minutes to proofreading, hoping to catch any glaring errors that jump off the page. However, a quick and cursory reread, especially after you've been working long and hard, usually misses errors. Also, the spelling checker doesn't catch everything and can cause serious problems if not properly used.

ProEdit's proofreading service uses a consistent approach and process that ensures that your message is not sabotaged by errors. The cost is minimal. The turnaround is fast. The payback is huge.
